I arrived in Hamburg through a transit at Zurich yesterday and have been loitering around Ahrensburg and my hotel room since then. I coughed up 25 euros earlier for five days’ worth of Internet access. The regular deal is three euros for three hours but since I’m going to be staying here for a while, the receptionist told me about the other deal so I quickly took her up on that offer. On the topic of euros, their banknotes are really quite large in terms of its height. In fact, the one hundred dollar bill is so large that it sticks out like a sore thumb in a wallet. Very much like how I stand out like a sore thumb in this little town. I have only encountered one other Asian in this place so far with everyone else being white.
Anyway, I start work on Monday, more to come then…
